why do women bother with love? with men? with crying over men? love is something we'll never resist

Tonight was so fun! I had a girls night with Sophie and Shaunzi. We laughed so so so hard and talked and drank a lot of soda. I also ate some kettle corn, which tasted fantastic! Of course we watched the notebook and talked about guys, even though Sophie's married, she still will listen to the single gals spout off about wishing for love, having a love, being mad (ticked off) about love and even crying over love. Sometimes, I wonder why this and that happened or why I'm not perfect enough, or why my constant support won't give me luck for lovin'. Tonight I know why.

Because I am Maddie Violet. And I don't settle. I won't settle. I can't settle for a man without an ironed shirt. I am a strong woman and I deserve a guy who will love me until his hands are holding mine so tight he'll never want to let go.

love, Maddie Violet

p.s. Red lip kisses would be as sweet as a spoonful of honey on a warm day.

mink coats, new shirts, and one expensive scout shirt

So my dad is moving into a house on main street in AF. Let's just say, the old ladies stuff was still there. I got 2 real mink coats, old vintage handkerchiefs, and books... lots of books! Today my brother and I dived into D. I. and Savers to find a dang scout shirt. We went to the scouting store and for a scout shirt it was $50.00. What the? On a scout shirt? Luckily we found one at Savers and I strolled over to Down East to look around. There was a really cute shirt for $7.50, but I am poor and it's an arm and a leg to fill my car. My brother is so kind and wanted me to have it. He said that I've bought a lot for him, so he can spare 8 bucks for a shirt. I love him. What a good kid. Well I hope you all have a wonderful night!

love, Maddie Violet

it's just a number

Some days it feels like my goal weight will never come.

Today is one of those days. I wanted to test the really nice flat iron that Libby is letting me use when I move out. After I actually straightened my hair today, I realized why I don't usually do that; it gives a clear view of my double chin.



I am trying to change that, but it's hard. Life would probably seem a little easier for me if I was just born with that body type, but I wasn't. Heavenly Father does have to let us have some trials, even though they are hard. So here's to weight watchers for so many many more weeks of my life.


Love, Maddie Violet

anna, english bloke, witchery

Today I am grateful for Anna, my little niece who is now 1! Yay! I am grateful for the fun time I had in Poky with my cousin Abby. Guess what? I met a real guy from real England! He was super nice and he called his bike seat a saddle. He commented on my earrings and my TOMS. He likes TOMS. I went to a hippie store. A girl came in while we were there and she was a real hippie! I saw a witch house. Right when I walked up and peeked in the window, it felt like I was in a time warp. Everything in there was so so so old! When I looked in, a huge gust of wind came up and blew my hair all over the place. We had so much fun and I will post pictures soon!

love, Maddie Violet

and this, was her glass slipper...

I love Ever After. It is such a wonderful movie. Every time I watch it or start to hear the music, I want to cry. Which is weird and I don't know why, but I do.

Any other good romance movies I should watch?

true love

Being a woman, I picture being in love, true love, as a perfect Jane Austen story or Bright Star without the lover dying.

But today, I pictured love and the perfectness of love as sharing the love of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; wanting to live the Gospel and wanting the blessings of the temple and of living righteously together in patience with each other.

I want to be in love someday with a man who wants to help me and who wants help to get to the Celestial Kingdom.

Don't get me wrong, I still want a nice little romance like in the books. But mostly, I look for a guy who loves the Lord and loves Heavenly Father. I want to be with someone who looks for the opportunities to serve people and to serve his family and most importantly, Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.


True love to me, is loving the Gospel together and wanting the blessings that come from an eternal marriage, but also wanting those blessings for the other person and wanting to share eternity loving someone with your whole heart. I hope I can love someone like that; with a love that almost causes strain on my heart because it's so lovely.

love, Maddie Violet
